Ok so for some reason that I don't understand I feel like writing this so I'm just going to go with the flow. Maybe its because I just overcame a big test on desires and sex that I feel the need to give my fellow teens encouragement.
That it is possible to live in this majorly messed up world and be able to turn away from the worldly stuff. So for the longest time I've had a serious problem with lust and boys. I'm not going to go into deep depth with that I'll keep it short and simple but, throughout high-school it was a serious battle.
Since I didn't really take God serious because yeah sure I went to church every Sunday but not because I wanted to but because I was forced by my parents so yeah. It wasn't until after I graduated (at 17) that I took God seriously because he became so real I mean IN-MY-FACE real that its like I had no choice but to turn away from my fleshly desires and go to him.
But even then it was still a constant struggle because a part of me felt like "Man I was taking God so seriously at such a young age while everybody else get to party and have fun" and do whatever people my age do when they're in college. I didn't know that it was so bad until God revealed to me that I was mad and had unforgivness towards him for not letting me at least try sex first and have a little fun before he saved me.
And he made me understand that yeah even though all these other people are having "fun" doing the do and all this other stuff they are also getting other things too like hurt, pain ,unforgiveness, anger ,rage, trust issues, depression, suicidal thoughts and so forth.He explained to me that when you are in the world you pick up bad habits and characteristics.
By him taking me out this early it would be easier to mold me and work on my character faster since I wasn't exposed to whole bunch of stuff. He also showed me an example that when he saves someone that's been in the world for so long it's harder to get them to submit and be humble and all this other stuff because their hearts has been hardened by all the pain from the world. So he has to take a longer process breaking them and working on them to be woman or man of God that he wants them to be.
So after I got that understanding I felt bad for being selfish and not being grateful and thankful for what he saved me from because his words were true because when I looked at my other fellow brothers and sisters in Christ that were in the world longer than me and did all this stuff and had all these experiences it was harder for them to do what was right.
they were so hurt and angry and use to doing things the ungodly way. So anyways I'm ending it here so for those of you who battle being young and doing what's right you can do it not with your own strength however, but with God's help remember he is trying to use you as an example for other teens so don't try to fit in and compromise because you don't want to be the oddball out or you don't want to be looked at sideways because God is trying to use you to save others.
I mean somebody has to be leader. Don't be ashamed of Jesus
